Past players have this to say about the event:

"The best experience I have ever had playing hockey in my life. Really enjoyed getting the full experience of playing overseas and playing in a really amazing place." - Ryan Meltzer, Grand Canyon University

“Truly the most fun I’ve ever had playing hockey. Amparo was amazing and the hosts and other teams were stoked to meet us and have us there. The hockey was high quality and we were playing our games in packed barns. I made a bunch of friends from all over the US. I’ll never forget that trip.” - Brad Price, UC Santa Barbara

"An unbelievable experience. We got treated like roller hockey kings for 8 days and played on national television. I signed more autographs than I could possibly remember." - Aydin Schwetz, Grand Canyon University

“Getting the chance to represent our country was something I never could’ve imagined. From not knowing any of the guys to becoming brothers in a matter of seconds and battling it out together was truly something I am so grateful for. The amazing hospitality, people, and memories I made in Brazil are some of my fondest and something I will never forget.” - Ethan Vernik, Cal Poly
